HINGEABLE CUFF ATTACHMENT FOR SHIRTS AND THE Specification of Letters. Patent.

Application filed December 26, 1906. Serial No. 349,521.

T 0 all 1137mm may concern:

Be it known that we, Annnirr EDWARD Gsonon BENNETT and WiLLiAM BENNY FINDLAY, subjects ol the King of Great Britain and Ireland, the former residing at -10 Gertrude street, Fitzroy, dentist, the latter 5 at SAC-land street, St. Kilda, gentleman, both in the county of Bourke, in the State of Victoria and Commonwealth of Australia, have invented new and useful improvements in the Like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is devised to overcome defects in gentlemens cull' attachments to shirts and the like.

By means of the specially devised flap or envelop attached to the cufi', the cull is firmly held on to the sleeve ofthe shirt without the aid oi studs or buttons, or any other l'nstcnings for that purpose. The improvement which enables this to be achieved consisting in the flap bending round the shirt l'ccted by an extra strap or fillet sewed across the llzip as shown on the drawing.

in adjusting the cuff, the soiled shirt cufl is placed between the flap and one side of our cull and the whole is then bent into posit-ion round the wristwhen it is selfilast-ening and can scarcely be pulled oil.

in order that our invention may be clearly understood we will describe the same by retcrenrc to the accoinpzmying drawing.

Figure l is a front view of cult in a flat state, with hinge or flap and attachment constructed according to our invention. Fig. 2 is a view of the cull with hinge and attachment when doubled, as in use, and closed with the usual links, or stud.

In the drawing the portion marked A is the attachment device somewhat in the form of an envelop flap, or it may he of any other 'ing a clean cull.

bled for use the llap is tight around the shirt cut and with the fillet or strep marked F, placed there for the purpose, the tension is so strong as to fix the cult firmly on to the shirt.

B is a button-hole which may be used as e menus ol attirhing our invention to the coat sleeve if so desired, but. it is notessential es the tension alone is suilicient for the holding of the end in the form we apply (l is the double cuff with link or stud-holes at l). l). When one portion of C is soiled the cult is removed from the shirt, reversed, and put on the shirt again, thus always present- By theone half of soft going below the soiled shirt out? and the flap above it, the soiling is completely concealed and the effect is the to ell outward appearance as it the wearer had just put on :1 clean shirt, no matter who" looks down his sleeve.

Having now described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A detachable and reversible cull having a narrow fillet secured at one edg to the longitudinnl center thereof and flap connected to the other edge of said fillet, snid than and fillet being 01 greater width than the width of the cu ft, and the length of the fillet adjacent the cult being the some as the cult and having converging ends, and saidllap having converging sides and fastening means at the outer end of said llrtp.

In tcst-iinon whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the prrs nre of two subscribing witncsscs.
